Exegesis
In the first clause, ho de ekhthros ho speiras auta estin ho diabolos {ὁ δὲ ἐχθρὸς ὁ σπείρας αὐτά ἐστιν ὁ διάβολος | ho dè ekhthròs ho speíras autá estin ho diábolos}, the participial phrase ho speiras {ὁ σπείρας | ho speíras} functions attributively to define the enemy as “the one who has sown” the weeds, and the copula estin {ἐστιν | éstin} equates this specific enemy with ho diabolos.
In context — Matthew 13:39
But the enemy who sowed them is the devil . The harvest is the completion of the age, and the reapers are angels.
